title: Ethics and the reproductive process.
abstract: Changes in reproductive technology and contraceptive availability have resulted in ethical reconsiderations in many countries. The United States has been no exception. A discussion of the applicable ethical principles for contraceptive research and family planning programs is presented. Each country must decide its own individual response to a given ethical problem. The paper does not propose solutions but is designed to raise the necessary questions.
